Win It: CARGO Let’s Meet in Paris Holiday Kit.

Exciting news! One of my favorite makeup brands Cargo Cosmetics has just relaunched their website with a super chic new design. It's not only easy to navigate, I've been discovering and learning all about some great new products at the same time. Check it out at cargocosmetics.com.

To celebrate the new launch, Cargo wants me to give one of YOU a special preview of one of their exclusive holiday sets before it hits stores. One lucky reader will win Cargo's Let's Meet in Paris Holiday Kit.

Inspired by a luxurious trip to the French city, this kit evokes a sophisticated, fashion-forward feel with rich red and black tones with hints of sparkle.  The look is 100% luxe - a bold red lip, soft eye with shimmery black liner and seductive full and defined lashes. Housed in a baroque patterned clutch-shaped carton, it makes for a festive gift or a splurge for yourself. 

The kit contains:

• NEW Red Essential Lip Color
• NEW Travel Size  HD Lip Primer
• NEW Swimmables Eye Pencil in Black Sea
• Travel Size Reverse Lip liner
• TexasLash Mascara

The Let's Meet in Paris Holiday Kit won't even be available until November where it will be exclusively for sale at Ulta for $36.00 (an $85 value).

Make It Lash: Cargo LashActivator Primer™.

I want my lashes longer and thicker. Naturally. Meaning, I'd like them to look better before applying mascara. This is where lash conditioners and enhancers come in. Yes, I've used them before, but not as regularly or continually as I should. You see, the thing about eyelash conditioners is that I forget to put i on at night. That's what makes Cargo LashActivator Primer™ good from the get go; you apply this before you apply your mascara in the morning. Just like a foundation or shadow primer. Could it be any easier to remember?

What makes it even better is that LashActivator™ actually improves the condition of the lashes. In clinical trials, it was shown "to offer the optimal environment for healthy lash growth and reduced lash loss."

It is simple to use. I apply it like a mascara, being careful to start at the base, or root, of my lashes and then brush it up through the tip. It is colored black so you know where you have applied it. Think of it as a base coat. I have been using it on both my upper and lower lashes. It takes a few minutes to dry, so keep that in mind. After only using this for a few days, I am not noticing my usual stray shredded lashes on my makeup removing pad - so that's a good thing. It's working already.

Cargo LashActivator Primer™ sells for $35.00 at Cargo Cosmetics and ULTA.
